Hasidic reggae rap star jams at URI tonight

SOUTH KINGSTOWN -- Matisyahu, the Hasidic Jewish reggae rap star, will perform at a sold-out show at the University of Rhode Island's Ryan Center tonight at 8.

Born Matthew Miller in Westchester, Pa., and raised in White Plains, N.Y., the 26-year-old Matisyahu is a rising star on the pop scene, combining his strict religious beliefs with rap and reggae. His latest album, Youth, debuted recently on the Billboard charts at number four.
